Photograph of the University of Miami campus entrance sign overlaid with six labeled panels. Under the heading "What the university would receive": hospital use, up to 100 beds permitted in the Multi-Use Zone with no conditional-use vote; enrollment, 17,500 becomes a mitigation threshold rather than a cap; development intensity, the 6.8 million square foot cap gives way to a floor area ratio of 1.0; and parking, certain city spaces and their revenue shift to the university.
